China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 504 The Right Direction
Because of the host's words, everyone's eyes at the scene turned to Li Yu.

Reporters from major media outlets pointed their cameras at Li Yu in tacit understanding.

A staff member of the organizer was very considerate and handed a microphone to Li Yu.

Obviously, everyone wants to hear Li Yu's opinion on the movie "Fengshen".

"Everyone's serious look makes it difficult for me to handle this! What if the evaluation I give doesn't satisfy everyone? Will I be in big trouble?"

Li Yu found that the atmosphere was a bit too serious, so he made a joke to make fun of himself.

The effect was very star-like, everyone laughed and the atmosphere became much more cheerful.

“Everyone knows that I am a director who prefers commercial films and also likes to make commercial films.

My evaluation of this movie is that the image of Shang King Yinshou is majestic enough. It was previously recognized that the best actor to play King Zhou was Daqi.

Personally, I think Fei Xiang's version of King Zhou can compete with Daqi for the first place.

Daji is stunning, and Director Zhang carefully selected an exotic beauty from a new province to create a different Daji.

I think Director Zhang’s idea has been successful. Daji really makes people feel captivated at first sight.

Let me make a joke here. I used to not understand why King Zhou would do so many ridiculous things for the sake of Daji.

After seeing this version of Daji, I suddenly realized, if Daji really looks like this, which cadre can stand this test? "

Li Yu's comments were sincere and humorous, which naturally drew laughter from those around him.

When the laughter gradually faded, Li Yu continued to comment: "Not to mention the visuals of the movie, Director Zhang's strong opening shot was full of epic temperament...

In summary, this is a great commercial special effects film.

If I had to give this movie a score out of 10, I would give it 8.5.

I need to emphasize that my rating system includes both art films and commercial films.”

Li Yu's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone at the scene.

Everyone knows that Li Yu and the national teacher have always had a good relationship.

Li Yu said something nice about the new film of the national teacher, and everyone thought it was reasonable and logical, just a commercial compliment! This is normal.

But the evaluation Li Yu just gave clearly went beyond the scope of commercial mutual flattery.

It's just business praise for the sake of it, but who would give such a high evaluation as Li Yu just did?
In the mixed rating system of commercial films and art films, Li Yuneng gave 8.5 points, which is basically the ceiling of commercial films.

There are very few purely commercial films that can score over 9 points.

So Li Yu’s evaluation just now was extremely high.

Not to mention the ordinary audience and media reporters at the scene, even the national master himself was stunned for several seconds.

Isn’t Li Yu so awesome?
Although he didn't say anything just now, he must have hoped in his heart that Li Yu could say a few good words about his new movie.

Li Yu has become an influential figure in the current Chinese film industry.

Li Yu's comments will attract the attention of thousands of media and ordinary audiences.

Many viewers will also go to the cinema because of Li Yu’s comments.

It’s really awesome, a little too awesome.

Even the Imperial Master felt a little embarrassed by Li Yu's extremely high evaluation.

"Isn't that too exaggerated? Director Li."

The national teacher smiled and said.

“There is a gap between this film, Investiture of the Gods, and the peak works of your career.

But "Fengshen" is definitely the best work of your career in the past fifteen years.

I am not exaggerating. I think Investiture of the Gods has a chance to become the No. 1 domestic box office hit. Currently, the No. 1 domestic box office hit is not worthy of the title. Investiture of the Gods is much better than it.”

Li Yu not only praised the national master's "Fengshen", but also publicly whipped the current domestic box office champion.

The national master in the original time and space was scolded by countless netizens because of the box office of Yinbing and the whitewashing of Qin Hui.

The Imperial Master would be scolded if he was involved in such things, so why couldn't Li Yu say anything if they did such things?

After Li Yu said this, all the reporters present were delighted.

As soon as Li Yu opened his mouth, he started talking about big news, and several big news pieces came one after another.

If Li Yu could speak some truth like this every day, why would they need to worry about no one reading their articles?
"Director Li seems to be very disgusted with the practice of inflating the box office."

A reporter took the opportunity to ask questions.

"Of course, inflating box office numbers is an act that undermines fair competition in the film market.

They have boosted the box office, do you think they won’t boost the word of mouth?
Under the illusion of high box office and good reputation, a large number of audiences who do not like to read reviews and only watch whatever movies are popular will go to the cinema.

Those who are deceived into entering the theater by illusions will become victims.

In many foreign countries and regions, it is illegal to manipulate the box office. Once discovered, it will not only affect the distribution of the film, but also may lead to legal liability. "

Li Yu said with a serious expression.

In the past, Da Tiantian mentioned several times that she could spend money to make the box office data look better.

All of Da Tiantian's suggestions were rejected by Li Yu without exception.

Like many viewers, he really dislikes the practice of inflating box office results.

Li Yu knew that today was not a rally to boycott box office inflaters, but the premiere of the national master's new movie, so he stopped there.

After saying what he should and wanted to say, he returned the microphone to the staff and acted like an ordinary audience member.

Afterwards, Fatty Fan asked Li Yu: "Are you too tough? Aren't you afraid of offending people?"

"I just told them what they did, isn't that okay?"

Li Yu asked rhetorically.

Well, Fat Fan was speechless.

Maybe her level is not high enough. She is just an actor, no matter how great she is.

She didn't dare say such things in public because she couldn't afford to offend the director, investors, and producers.

Li Yu is different. Li Yu is a famous director and also has capital.

Li Yu is telling the truth, there is really nothing to be afraid of.

A day later, on the Internet, Li Yu’s words at the premiere of "Fengshen" were recognized by many people.

"Director Li is as strong as ever. I have to give him a thumbs up. The part about the chaos of box office manipulation is so well written."

“Are there any viewers who have watched the premiere of “Investiture of the Gods”? Can you tell me if “Investiture of the Gods” is really as good as Director Li said?”

Soon, a person who claimed to have attended the premiere came forward to share his experience.

“What Director Li said is true. I watched The Investiture of the Gods live at the time, and I think The Investiture of the Gods is in no way inferior to Director Li’s The Great Wall series.

Director Li said something that I agree with very much, "Investiture of the Gods" is the best work of the national master in the past 15 years. PS: "Man Jiang Hong" should be separated from it. "

"Fuck, if that's the case, then the National Master is on the right track this time. We can look forward to it."

"Strive for the No. 1 domestic box office? I absolutely support this. Even if the national master is mediocre, it will still be better than the current No. 1.

What’s more, the national master is not pulling this time, I have already booked the movie tickets in advance, and I am just waiting for the day when the movie is released nationwide.”
